Bullet Resistant Glazings for Automotive Vehicles

Bullet Resistant Glazings products for the automotive vehicle armouring industry have been available for more than 25 years. The key design tasks have been to develop the required ballistic protection level at the minimum possible weight. This is particularly important in automotive vehicular applications to minimise the re-engineering of the basic structure. Equally important has been the development of products that exhibit “zero spalling”, or particle projection, off the inside surface under ballistic impact. These requirements have been met using a range of glass/polycarbonate composite glazings designs that combine the long established chemical and abrasion resistance of glass with the superb energy absorbing properties of polycarbonate to provide a true zero spall performance.
